This has not been the healthiest week of my life. I have eaten a lot of really delicious, not so health conscious food. It's all about balance though, right? I've also spent the week steaming a lot of vegetables, pureeing them, and freezing them in cubes for my little pumpkin, but that wouldn't make for the most interesting post. Mamas, stay tuned this week though if you're interested in homemade teething biscuits... that's my next project.

Tonight was one of the best dinners I have made in a long time. I am not bragging, I am just excited to share. It was easy, if slightly time consuming, but totally worth it. And it got the response I wanted from my husband: grunts of satisfaction with every bite. And all thanks to Real Simple. I love that magazine.

So, here it is: Potato Leek Flat Bread. I used a recipe at Food Network for the pizza dough (which, by the way I have used before, using whole wheat flour, and it was a little dense. Tonight I used all purpose and it was really good). You can used ground thyme instead of fresh, and you can skip the cheese if you want to lighten it up. But you can also add a couple of slices of prosciutto, like I did, for a little something special.

All you need to go with it is a nice little salad and you've got yourself one delicious meal (we also had seared scallops, but honestly, they were secondary to this flat bread). Enjoy!

I am just a mama who is trying her darndest to be healthy, keep my kids healthy, and my husband, too. Maybe you're a mama. Maybe you're a dad, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin... maybe you aren't any of the above! But you want to be healthy, too. So join me on this fun adventure to make healthy stuff, do healthy stuff - in a balanced sort of way. And yes, that means you get to eat chocolate, too.
